The short answer
Housing in Farmington has a median build year of 1997. Where the stock is that new, weak pressure is more often a valve or a fixture than a corroded supply line, and both can be checked before anything is assumed.

Farmington has 3,924 occupied homes across 1 ZIP code. Across all its housing, vacant units included, the median build year is 1997 — the most useful single fact for working out why the water pressure is weak, because it predicts what the supply pipe is made of.

Of the 34 AR towns we route calls in, its housing is older than 24% of them, and by number of homes it ranks 12th.
What 1997 tells you about the pipe in Farmington
Housing of this vintage generally means copper as standard and the last of the polybutylene, which stopped being installed in 1995. Pressure complaints in houses this age are more often about the pressure-reducing valve drifting out of adjustment than about the pipe. More on 1990s supply pipe.
79% of occupied homes in Farmington are owner-occupied, 16 points above the AR figure of 62%. It matters here because the run between the meter and the house belongs to the property owner, not the utility.

In Farmington the first check is how many taps are affected, and on housing of this age a single weak one is the common case — an aerator or a supply stop, not the system. Normal supply is 45–80 psi; under 40 psi is low, and a gauge tells you in a minute. Whole house is a call; one tap is not.
